Anisoprint, located in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, is a manufacturer of continuous carbon fiber 3D printers and materials, and recently introduced a basalt fiber composite for 3D printing technology.
According to Anisoprint, this basalt fiber composite material is 15 times stronger than plastic when used in 3D printing technology, 1.5 times stronger than aluminum, and 5 times lighter than steel. It is also said to significantly reduce manufacturing costs.
Because basalt fibers are also wave-permeable, Anisoprint states that components made of basalt fiber composites do not significantly change the amplitude and phase of radio frequency electromagnetic waves transmitted through them, making them ideal for non-conductive components and isolators.
Anisoprint's technology can change fiber orientation, volume ratio, and material density. "Our technology is a revolutionary solution that combines the low equipment prices typical of personal plastic printers with the ability to produce high-performance structural elements. This is another step towards a new industrial revolution," said Andrey Azarov, CTO of Anisoprint. This will free us from standardized mass production and broaden new horizons of human creativity. "
